Living in Jeonju, turning imagined ideas into reality: the All Planner Stay Project

1. Turn what you've only thought about into a plan and bring it to life this time.

This project allows you to live in Jeonju, plan a new project based on your ideas or interests, and carry it out yourself. Here, you start projects based on your interests rather than following a set agenda. This is a time to experience everything firsthand, from planning what to do to running the event with others. By listening to the stories of the village, its residents, and the region, we can find small themes or ideas and come up with experiential programs for many to enjoy. Explore ideas in areas that interest you, such as travel, festivals, gatherings, or content creation. Together with a content planner who has organized and managed various projects in the region, we refine the details of where and how to start. When things don’t go as planned, connect with local people, find a solution each time, and try implementing it step by step. Before you know it, the ideas that have been in your mind will be turning into real action. If you’ve always put your passions off, start now.

 

2. Find a job that suits you through diverse experiences.

As a community planner, you will meet people, discover neighborhood stories, prepare new activities, and try various tasks firsthand to learn what you like and what interests you. You may enjoy listening to residents and putting their stories into writing, or you may become deeply absorbed in capturing the neighborhood through photographs. You may also enjoy the satisfaction of bringing people together to hold small gatherings or brainstorming and preparing ideas for local events to create something. By talking with people who run healing farms, breweries, and cafes, I create various projects and, while learning about their lives, naturally discover what I need to do in the future. Explore the things you enjoyed most by experiencing them one by one in your local area, the moments when time flew by, and the activities you want to try again. As those experiences accumulate, I can gradually start to envision the work that suits me and my future direction more concretely. Take some time to distinguish what draws you to, by trying one thing at a time that seems appealing and one that you genuinely want to do.

 

3. Work and socialize with others, bringing ease and abundance to your life.

There are people here, each with their own unique charm. There are people you keep smiling at when you're together, people whose eyes light up when you talk about what they love, and people who live their day differently from you. Prepare for work together, share ideas, and help each other with areas where you may be struggling to grow closer. After work, while having a meal together or taking a walk around the neighborhood, you may discover sides of each other you hadn’t noticed before. Enjoy someone else’s hobbies together, and share what you like. Visit places you might have otherwise overlooked, and you may develop an interest in things you hadn’t considered before. As I spent time with others, new joys gradually began to add to my daily life. It's okay not to always strive to achieve something. Laugh together, wonder about each other's day, and enjoy a moment of rest. An ordinary day spent with good people can fill your life with a little more ease and richness.
